The plaintiff purchased a home from the defendant and subsequently discovered significant water infiltration, mould, and foundation damage.
The plaintiff brought an action for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation, alleging the defendant concealed the defects.
The court found that the defendant's representations in the MLS listing and warranties that the home was in move-in condition were untrue and made negligently.
The court awarded the plaintiff $119,595.75 for repair costs and $10,000 in general damages for mental stress and inconvenience, but declined to award punitive damages.
